A review by margaretefg
The Boat Rocker by Ha Jin

3.0

The narrator, a thirty ish Chinese journalist living in New York, wants to expose fraudulent classes claims by his ex wife about her new novel. as the novel continued I got more suspicious that he was not reading the signs of his own vulnerability. he got increasingly tangled in a web of intrigue in which powerful people in China were manipulating events in the US. while the narrator keeps asserting that the US is there home of free speech and the rule of law, events in the book suggest otherwise.
